Is the US among it? And why are they choosing to arm Taiwan instead? Do you think the US would be chill if another country decided to arm Hawaii,Puerto Rico, Alaska,… ?
FYI the weapons are basically shit (there’s agreement among Taiwanese and Chinese nationalists) and can’t be used for force projection at all. In Taiwan purchasing of these arms is considered paying protection money to the mafia. In the US it’s spun as helping Taiwan protect itself against China. In China it’s spun as the US interfering with China’s “internal affairs” since they’re larping as owning Taiwan.
I do agree that the US is trying to bait China into attacking Taiwan though. The special forces in Kinmen to train kids (they’re probably <23 years old) to pilot microdrones? LMAO. I’m not sure if CIA intelligence (as opposed to operations) even know the actual reason of why China wants to claim Taiwan. They may believe in their own propaganda.
How many countries recognize Taiwan again?
Why would it need to be more than one?
And it’s 12, counting the Vatican.
